Pardon my asking, but is Datek options trading a brand new offering or a "coming soon" thing? I did a quick search at Datek and couldn't find any info, and it's not listed on their fee table or their press releases for the last 3 months. Any additional info would be appreciated, as I hate paying high commissions. (But don't we all.) Always on the lookout for better options fees/executions and Datek's may be reasonable.

Thanks,

S

CC, The WWF refers to their fans as "marks." But their investors are the biggest marks of all. Who in the world would buy a company that Vince McMahon was willing to sell? Oh, yeah, he is only selling because business is great. <VBG> Those $50+ buyers at the offering must be feeling a wee bit woozy about now.

cc, i know someone who was up very big. he kept telling me how wrong my view on the market was. just buy. he made a TON. lost over 1/3 of a mil within the last year. maybe all profits, maybe not.

play the market by having a company put options in your pocket, imho. otherwise, the risk of going long is high. especially to those who have won big in the past.

btw, my friend enjoyed making money a lot, too. -ng-

keep long term perspective.
